<P>
It is necessary for you to read this section only if you expect to use a
floating (or concurrent use) license and you are NOT presently running a
NetLS license server somewhere in your network. (Please note that
node-locked licenses do NOT require the installation of a NetLS license
server). The job of selecting and configuring a license server is best
performed by someone knowledgeable in system administration tasks. The
remainder of this section is designed to assist a system/network
administrator in configuring a license server.
<P>
This section describes a basic installation in which the license server
and all client nodes reside on the same network segment. It also assumes
that you are not currently using the Network Computing System (NCS)
local or global location broker daemons llbd and glbd. For more complex
NetLS configurations it is recommended that you consult both Gradient's
<CITE>Managing Software Products with the Network License System</CITE> and
<CITE>Managing NCS Software</CITE> which is provided in PostScript format
on the distribution media in the compressed file

ncs_ps.Z.
You need to decompress this file using the UNIX <TT>uncompress</TT>
command before viewing or printing it..

<P>
NetLS uses NCS to provide location services through the use of global
and local location broker daemons (glbd and llbd). Therefore you must
install and configure a NCS "cell" before you can run the NetLS
license server daemon (netlsd).
<P>
The basic setup described here will configure a default cell and install
and start all three daemons on a single "License Server" machine and
configure them to start automatically when the machine is re-booted. If
you decide on a different setup for your network please keep in mind
that you must:
<P>
Run a glbd on at least one node in your network
<P>
Run llbd's on the node running the netlsd and the node running the glbd.
<P>
To configure a basic license server installation you must first identify
the node best suited to be your license server. This should be a node
which is very stable (i.e. rarely goes down) as floating licenses will
be unavailable when this machine is down. A file server machine would be
a good choice. Once a machine has been selected you can proceed with the
installation of the license server software.
